Could someone please add Lars Gustaebel (SF ID "gustaebel") as a developer? He's responsible for writing and maintaining tarfile.py, but his bugfixes usually sit around in the tracker until someone gets around to looking at them, which is inefficient.
In addition to what Tim says (that Lars also should ask for it), I see no real problem with the status quo. I have applied a number of tarfile patches in the past, and keep an eye on any new patches. Of the pending patches, I see no real problem if they are not applied - even if they don't get into 2.4, I think adding them to 2.4.1 might still be appropriate. tarfile is inherently a tricky issue (with the tar file format being so difficult), and I believe Lars appreciates that somebody reviews his changes before applying them.
